I have recently decided to take a break from blogging so that I can focus entirely on my family. I am not sure at this time whether this will be a temporary break or something more permanent. I appreciate all of you supporting my blog! Happy Holidays!

I just received an email from a reader who let me know that she received a $5 off any turkey or ham coupon at her commissary yesterday. These coupons are sponsored by General Mills and are military only tearpad coupons. Her commissary was handing them out to interested customers. If you do not see these coupons at your local commissary, it may be worth asking the manager if they have received them. Have any of you come across them at your own commissary? Gotta love cheap turkey or ham!!

If you are close to a Dillard's and in the mood for some shopping, you may want to plan your shopping trip for this Wednesday or Thursday, December 2nd or 3rd. According to a recent press release, all Dillard's stores will be offering a 20% military discount to all active military members, including activated guardsmen and reservists, and their immediate families.

In order to take advantage of this discount, you must SAVE your sales receipt(s). When you are finished shopping, you then need to take your receipts to the customer service counter with your valid active duty military ID. Your 20% discount will then be deducted from from the total purchase in the same form of payment that you chose to use to make the purchase (i.e. cash, credit card etc.). If you are an immediate family member of an active duty military member who is not shopping with you, then you will need to present your ID which indicates that you are family of active duty military.

**I would recommend that you contact your local Dillard's store to make sure that they are participating!
